 On each Pycom device, there is a small internal filesystem called `/flash`, to which the Python code is uploaded. We can access this filesystem through an internally running FTP server, that allows us to make changes to the files. Next to that, a Telnet connection can be made to communicate with the device through the REPL. 
 ## Connecting
-1. **Connect through the Access Point**
 
+In the past, Pycom devices came with the Access Point enabled from the factory. Nowadays, they come with [smart-configuration](/pybytes/smart/) and Pybytes enabled by default, allowing quick and easy provisioning to Pybytes using the app. Follow the steps below to disable that and use enable the Access Point or connect to another WiFi network on boot.

+1. **Connect through the Access Point**

     You can activate the internal Access Point (AP) on boot by using the following:
     ```python
     import pycom
     from network import WLAN
+    import machine
     pycom.pybytes_on_boot(False) #we do not want Pybytes using the WLAN
     pycom.smart_config_on_boot(False) #we also do not want smart config
     pycom.wifi_on_boot(True)
     pycom.wifi_mode_on_boot(WLAN.AP)
     pycom.wifi_ssid_ap('ssid')

     It is also possible to connect your pycom device to a WiFi network first, and then connect to its IP address. Note that you will have to figure out its IP address before you can access the FTP server or use [MDNS](/tutorials/networkprotocols/mdns/). For that, you can use the following command. This will return a tuple with four items, where the first item will contain the assigned IP address.
     ```python
+    import pycom
+    from network import WLAN
+    import machine
+    #You can set this to True if Pybytes connects to your router already, and skip the rest
+    pycom.pybytes_on_boot(False)

+    pycom.smart_config_on_boot(False)
+    pycom.wifi_on_boot(True)
+    pycom.wifi_mode_on_boot(WLAN.STA)

+    pycom.wifi_pwd_sta('router password')
     wlan.ifconfig()
+    machine.reset()
     ```

 Note that if you make changes to the WLAN Configuration in the uploaded Python code, for example by using Pybytes or changing the WiFi credentials, the connection might drop. Moreover, if your program contains continuous reboot loops, sleep cycles or coredumps, you might not be able to recover the wireless connection without [safe booting](../safeboot/)

+The Pybytes app will allow you to quickly provision any number of devices effortlessly to Pybytes.

+![](/gitbook/assets/pybytes/iOS/provisionedDevicesPybytes.png)
+
+## Take into consideration
 
 * If you are using iOS 12, turn off your Wi-Fi completely on your iPhone.
 * Only use a Wi-Fi network with 2.4GHz as Pycom devices cannot connect to a 5GHz network.
 * Your device might be provisioned faster if you move your device closer to your Wi-Fi router.
 * Make sure your devices are powered on and running firmware 1.20.1 or newer.
 * You cannot provision the same devices on the different Pybytes account unless you [erased them completely](../../advance/cli/#erase-all) and flashed the latest firmware again with FW updater tool.
 * If there is a spinning wheel on your screen, that means that your device is being provisioned. If it has disappeared, then press the START button again.
-* Please take into account that we are developing a new feature and therefore some niggles can occur. (Please bear with us!) If any issues occur whilst you are using Pybytes iOS, then drop us a line at <a href="mailto:support@pycom.io">support@pycom.io</a>.

+## FAQ
+
+### I can’t connect to Wi-Fi in Pybytes iOS
 
 * Firstly, check your version of iOS. If it is iOS 12, then turn off the Wi-Fi connection on your phone. Following this, try to use Pybytes iOS again, and it should now automatically connect to the WiFi.
 
 * If you have version that is later than iOS 12, check your Wi-Fi router setting. It should run on a 2.4 HGz Wi-Fi network.

+### No devices were provisioned after 5 min.
 
 * Check if your devices are on
 
 * Move your devices closer to the Wi-Fi router
 
 * Check that no-one else in the room is trying to provision devices with the Pybytes iOS app.

+### How long does the provisioning take?
 
 * On average, it takes up to 2 minutes to provision 6 devices.
